To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK E. HATCH, gentleman, of the city of l/Vinnipeg', in the county of Selkirk, Province of Manitoba, Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hoof Mixture, of which the followin is a specification.

My invention re ates to improvements in hoof mixture; and the objects of my invention are to provide a compound which when regularly ap lied to animals hoofs will clean and soften t em and generally keep them in a healthy condition.

ounce; salammoniac, one ounce; sulfate of co per, one-half dram; strong ammonia, oneha f dram.

In mixing my compound I take equal parts of saltpeter or potassium nitrate (KNO and sal-ammoniac or ammonium chlorid (NI-LCD equal parts and thorou hly mix them in a dry state. I then take a out two ounces of this mixture to one uart of Water, and to the water I add one-ha f dram each of sulfate of copper and strong liquid ammonia.

In using the above composition I simply apply it to the animals hoofs at night or at any other suitable time. The composition has the same regenerative efiect on the hoof as the ordinary dew on the fields has, it being well known that the dew has this property.
